Well, Afghanistan is well known for trafficing a lot of the heroin in that area. http://www.ipcs.org/issues/articles/270-pak-surya.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't know anything of that one but I strongly suggest that all media reporst are taken in with some degree of questioning. My parents just called me yesterday and told me about a special report they have been airing in Germany about the Palestinian celebrations of kids on the streets after the 9/11 tragedy....well, maybe I should rather say the "making of" that footage. Aparently it was all pretty much paid for with sweets and other things those kids were keen on. One guy just filmed while the other guy was getting more kids and people in front of the camera. When they zoomed out you could only see a small pack of about 15 kids around the camera man...while everyone else wasn't celebrating at all. Well, I do question everything now that I see on the news cause we should never forget that whoever created those "celebration news" was happy to report American violence against Moslems here in America the next day....just another top story on the news.

aphelion Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 The Taliban grows poppy plants in its territory. The U.S. fed them billions last year to try and bribe them away from doing it. What a stupid policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
